Over at the Power Line blog, John Hinderaker, who is so perpetually out of breath that his brain has not received any oxygen since Reagan was president, cites the results of a National Science Foundation survey showing that "51% of Democrats do not know that the Earth goes around the Sun once a year!"

Feb 9, 2014: Village Voice: CBO Finds Obamacare Lets Americans Quit Jobs They Don't Want, Which Rightbloggers, Naturally, Oppose
"The CBO's bottom line," said Power Line's John Hinderaker, getting poetical, was "that working hours equivalent to two million jobs will be foregone."

Mar 19, 2013: Conservatism is a Cancer on Democracy: Proto-fascist John Hinderaker of PowerLine Should Stop Foisting Economic Lies On a Country He Claims To Love
Via Mark Thoma, Hale Stewart is bemused by John Hinderaker of PowerLine. As Stewart notes, Hinderaker begins by asserting that everyone knows that an economic crisis is coming — which apparently means everyone he talks to — then rolls out just about every one of the myths that have been proved wrong again and again by events, from the looming debt crisis to the imminent takeoff of inflation.

Feb 8, 2013: Daily Kos: Powerline, Free Beacon praise Bush's 'stroke of genius'
In the summer of 2005, Powerline's John Hinderaker, too, saw a "stroke of genius" in President Bush's latest initiative on climate change: It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile. Of course, when Hinderaker was on the receiving end of some of that hostility--and the side-splitting mockery his paean understandably produced--he updated his piece to announce that he had been joking all along: The tone of the post is obviously tongue in cheek, but liberals never seem to notice. They are, to put it charitably, not big on nuance.

Oct 17, 2012: Democrats for Progress: TSW #36
John Hinderaker won’t admit it, but I think he haz a sad. It was inevitable, considering that a mere two weeks ago the Power Line co-founder, who manages to store within the same cranium litigation abilities that got him named one of the 100 best lawyers in Minnesota and all the impulse control and political insight of a hyperactive four-year-old, was on an intense sugar high after W. Mitt Romney’s performance in the first presidential debate.

Apr 2, 2012: EconoPolitics: John Hinderaker Is No Scientist
He is a lawyer who knows very little about economics or science. What he does know is how to spread misinformation. In his latest attempt at misinforming his readers, he repeats one of the favorite myths of climate change denial.

Mar 13, 2012: Huffington Post: Would a Koch Takeover of Cato Make War With Iran More Likely?
The candidate they back for president, Mitt Romney, has been saber-rattling on Iran. And the Kochs have already tried to pack the Cato board with people like self-proclaimed neoconservative John Hinderaker, who once wrote, "It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile." Does anyone think guys like that are going to preserve any hint of independence at Cato?

Jan 20, 2011: Legal Insurrection: John Hinderaker’s Weak Defense Of His Palin Political Premortem
While Hinderaker does not respond to my post, he does respond today to a reader letter which made many of the points I made. Hinderaker’s response is a call for realism, that Palin simply does not have a chance based on the recent CNN Poll and other polling showing high unfavorability ratings among Independents

Nov 11, 2008: US News & World Report: Seriously? John Hinderaker on Barack Obama's Oratorical Skills
"Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as president, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not. In this regard, President Bush is an excellent model; Obama should take a lesson from his example. Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly. He chooses his words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting. In the eight years he has been president, it is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed. If Obama doesn't raise his standards, he will exceed Bush's total before he is inaugurated."—Conservative blogger/writer and lawyer John Hinderaker compares Barack Obama's oratorical skills with George W. Bush's on the conservative blog Power Line

Aug 24, 2006: Unclaimed Territory: More support for John Dean's thesis found in John Hinderaker's "big brother"
Additionally, contrast Bush's straightforward admission ("we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didn't . . .") with the claim made by John Hinderaker as recently as a couple weeks ago ("about the fact that Iraq possessed WMDs, there is no doubt"). Hinderaker was defending those who told a recent Harris Poll that they still believe Iraq had WMDs at the time we invaded. To defend the President's adventure in Iraq, his most loyal supporters insist upon fictions (that WMDs were not the main reason for invading, that Iraq had WMDs) which even the President, at long last, is unwilling to maintain any longer.

Apr 10, 2005: Brian Carnell: Just How Stupid Is John Hinderaker?
Since I’m busy ragging on right wing blogs this morning, might as well point out another — if a bit old — bit of nonsense by John Hinderaker. You might remember Hinderaker as the Powerline blogger who believes that video never lies.
